Recently, I blogged about how terrible the LSR website was. Apparently, bad websites are the norm when it comes to Indian education.

Even the mighty IIT Bombay has an inconsistent website, with a hideous site design when you descend one or two levels deep from the main site. The first page looks rather nice, but every link underneath it has its own design, no css, and absolutely no consistency. The right hand doesn't know what the left is upto.

And while we are at it, let us inform everyone that LSR makes its alumni run around for getting transcripts, and tortures them for these scraps of paper. LSR refuses to give more than fifteen transcripts at a time, which means that if you need thirty transcripts, you need to go twice. And the principal doesn't feel any compulsion to stamp the transcripts, so if you need them stamped, you've got to go there again.

Welcome to one of the best schools in Delhi: where the quality of education is about as good as their website.
